Is anyone else waiting for a chick order? CHICK PICS!!

Today is the day they ship out! I'm so excited that I can barely sit still! How long do they usually take to ship? I dreamed about chickens all night last night.

Mine came from Welp. They hatched last Wednesday and were here Friday morning. My babies are 1 week old today.

Thanks! I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting on the mail man.

The babies took a nap in a couple cardboard boxes today while Mom cleaned the brooder and changed the littler.

awww, they're soooo cute

Well, no chicks today, hopefully tomorrow. I'm sooooo impatient.

Aww SO cute, can't wait for mine to come!!!

Mine used to look like that, they're 5 weeks today.....where did the time go? Guess I'll have to order more in the spring.

Well, my chicks that I ordered from MPC still aren't here!

I'm hoping that they are ok.

They were scheduled to ship out Monday, October 18th and their email said that if I didn't recieve an email telling me that my shipping date changed, to expect them no later than Friday. And if I haven't received them by Friday, to call...but not before then. I am so nervous! This is the first time I ordered any chicks from a hatchery, as I usually get them from local breeders, and it's almost Thursday.

I sure hope they are ok where ever they are! It's been pretty toasty here this week...in the mid 80s, and I just worry for my babies!

SO having tortured the post office clerk, cross-examining him to make sure that he was not holding out on me and that he did not have my chickens hidden in the bowels of the sorting room, I inquired if my 50+ babies might be on the next truck and would he call me if they were, I think I annoyed him. He said most likely they would be on the 6:30 AM truck and that they would call me in the AM.

Sooooo, another sleepless night and hopefully a call at 6:30.

I did rewire my brooder with a photocell so the second bulb now only comes on if the first bulb turns off, burns out, or otherwise fails.

If they don't call at 6:30 AM, I am going to spend the day in the post office like a groupie waiting for the ticket window to open!
